OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, A COPABTNEBSHIIP COMPOSEI) 01 SIGMUND STELRNAUAND LIONEL STRASSBURGER.

Beit known that I, Annxaxnnn Srnonn, a subject of the King of I-lungary,and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State ofNew York, have in rented a certain new and useful Lamp, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to lamps particularly intended to burn anon-liquid fuel.

The object I have in view is to produce a lamp of this character, inwhich the body of the lamp, with the cover, will constitute a containerfor the fuel, and in which it may be shipped without loss byevaporation, but so designed that the lamp, when in use, will produce ahot flame.

These and further objects will more fully appear from the followingspecification and accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, Figurel is a plan View of a lamp'embodying myintention, shown in connection with a supporting stand and with thecover removed. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the linc-2-2 of Fig. 1,showing the cover in position; and Fi 3 is a seetional View on a largerscale oi the upper par of the body showing the details of arrangement ofthe two rims. I

In carrying out the invention, I first pro vide abody or container 1.This container is preferably of cylindrical shape, although notnecessarily so, and is best made of sheet metal. At the upper edge ofthe body is a rim 2. This rim is provided with a pin rality of'orilices3, for admitting air to the interior of the body, when the lamp is inuse, thereby producing a bunsen eflect. Below the rim 2 is a second rim4:. In connection with these-two rims, is a cover This cover has a partwhich engages with the rim i, and makes an air-tight joint when it is inplace. In order to increase the amount of contacting surface between thecover and the rim l, and thereby reduce the liability of leakage, and atthe same time hold the cover more firmly in place, the rim 4: isprovided with a flange (3, which in the embodiment chosen forillustration, depends downward. In order to prevent the cover from beinginserted too far, it is provided with an upper llange 7, this fiangeresting upon the rim This flange '2' is useful to permit the.introduction of a suitable tool Specification of Letters Patent.

for removing the cover. To assist in this operation, the rit, 2 isdished outwardly toward the center, as shown in Fig. 3,thus producing aspace between the rim and the. flange 7. Inorder. to define the annularspace between the two rims, so as to roperly divert the currents of airentering tie lamp through the orifices, the rim l is also dished in thesame manner as the rim 2. The inner edge of the rim 2 may be flanged, asshown in Fig. 3, to form a better bearing for the cover when it is inplace, and also to direct the currents of air. The two rims F2 and s areshown as attached to the body 1 by being rolled over, as shown in Fig.3. The lamp may be mounted on a suitable stand, such as 8, which holdsit above the table or other support, andalso provides an arrangement forcarrying the utensil to be heater In use, the body 1 is filled with asuitable non-liquid fuel. I find a suitable fuel for this purpose may bewhat is known in the trade as solid alcohol. This fuel, when ignitedwith a match, will burn with a hot flame, combustion being assisted bythe enteringof air through the orifices 3. When the lamp is not in use,the cover is introduced in place, and makes a tight joint with theflange 6, so that evaporation of the alcohol is arrested.

The lamp is very cheap to construct, and in fact, costs but sligl'itlimore than does a mere container for the furl. While I have illustratedthe body 1 as cylindrical, I desire to have it understood that the shapeforms no feature of theinvent-ion, and it may, therefore, be departedfrom, as desired.

In accordance with the provisions of-the patent statutes, I havedescribed the princip of my inventioi'i, together with the apparatuswhich 1 now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof ghut Idesire to have it understood that the apparatus shown is merelyillustrative and that the invention may be carried out in other Ways.

Having now described my invention, what I claiin as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is
